Modeling the extraction of bioactive compounds of green and red camu-camu peel and identification using UPLC-MS/MS

The Amazonian Camu-Camu Fruit Modulates the Development of Drosophila melanogaster and the Neural Function of Adult Flies under Oxidative Stress Conditions

“…It is worth noting that vitamin C comprises 70% of the total antioxidant capacity of camu-camu [ 42 ]. In 5 g of camu-camu powder, there is 682 mg of vitamin C, and while few studies have reported the presence of other compounds in dry camu-camu, one study found, in 100 g (dry powder), 42 mg of quercetin, 0.4–2.5 mg of kaempferol, and 0.13 mg of rutin [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Including an HPLC analysis in future studies would enhance our understanding of the composition of camu-camu powder and further clarify the benefits of using this supplement.…”

Emerging berries from the Brazilian Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes: new sources of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits

“…However, these residues serve as valuable raw materials for obtaining bioactive extracts and products, making processing essential for maximizing their utility. 18,37–43…”

“…In brief, multiple factors impact the bioactive levels in camu-camu and subsequently affect its in vitro antioxidant activity. These include the fruit's ripeness and color variations affected by climate elements like rainfall, light exposure, and soil conditions, influencing carotenoids and phenolic compounds; 41,43,104 storage period, senescence and its relationship with the oxidative degradation of vitamin C; 81 days after anthesis; 106 drying processes that affect the thermosensitive compounds in byproducts; 43,86 solvent composition for extracting phenolics from various fractions; 39,41,43 amount and form of camu-camu added to food products; 38,42,82,101 and state of the fractions (peel and seed; fresh or drying). 85 An overview of the main bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity of camu-camu fractions can be found in Table 1.…”

Optimization of extraction of bioactive compounds with antiproliferative activity from goji berry and assessment of kinetic models

“…For example, when the extraction used is the solid-liquid type, several empirical kinetic models can be applied based on the mechanism of the extraction process, mainly for natural sources and medicines. [28][29][30][31][32] With these considerations in mind, this work aimed to optimize the extraction of bioactive compounds from goji berry, assessing the influence of solvent proportion, time, temperature and extraction method on extract quality. Kinetic extraction models were also studied based on experimental data to observe the mechanisms that control the system.…”
